Bike Trips in Canada – 10 of the Best

Gulf Islands, BC biking – a fun way to explore the islands

Cycling the Gulf Islands is a treat. You have a number of islands to choose from, all with their own personalities. You need a week if you want to properly cycle all of them, even more if you want some side trips. (Download a full guide to cycling the Gulf Islands here.)

Kettle Valley Railway, BC – one of the best bike trips in Canada

The Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) is an abandoned railroad track that winds across the Okanagan and Similkameen region in southern BC. It offers over 800 km (497 mi) of mountain biking trails (as opposed to road biking). The 80 km section from Myra Canyon near Kelowna through to Penticton is one of the most popular.

Biking from Banff to Jasper – a standout bike trip in Canada

The 290 km bike ride between Banff and Jasper is one of the most impressive bike rides in the world. The route runs parallel to the Continental Divide so mountains are always in sight. For the experienced and fit cyclist, it offers challenging hills and epic downhill rides.

Niagara-on-the-Lake to Fort Erie bike ride

Niagara Falls, quiet riverside paths, museums, world-class wineries and an abundance of orchards guarantee that the cycling along the Niagara River Recreation Trail is anything but average.  Its 25 km one way to Niagara Falls and another 29 km to reach Fort Erie. You can actually cycle a 195 km loop and return to Niagara-on-the-Lake via Port Colborne, Thorold and Jordan.

Eastern Townships, Quebec – a top bike trip in Canada especially in fall

Within spitting distance of Montreal, Quebec’s Green Route travels through the Eastern Townships on a total of 225 km of signed trail and road. If you head out with just a couple of panniers, you have the flexibility to stay in some of the small towns before returning to your starting point. (Photo above.)

Le Petit Train du Nord in Quebec

For a superb three to four day bike ride choose the 200 km Le Petit Train du Nord in Quebec’s Laurentian region. For more information read: Biking Le Petit Train du Nord

Biking the Fundy Isles in New Brunswick

It’s great fun exploring the Fundy Isles by bike. There are three worth visiting- Grand Manan Island, the largest; Deer Island – the smallest and Campobello Island, where you’ll find the sprawling summer home of former US President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia – a difficult but one of the top bike trips in Canada

The Cabot Trail is a 300 km loop around the northern part of Cape Breton Island including Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

Biking the length of Prince Edward Island

If you’re in shape you could in theory cycle the length of Prince Edward Island in a day – but who’d want to do that?  You’d miss all the things that make the island so special – beautiful beaches, quiet backroads, stops for scallop burgers and lobster rolls, friendly people and a laid-back vibe.

A bike ride on the Viking Trail in Newfoundland

The 600 km cycling trip up Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula is a fantastic bike ride but it’s a tough one. Allow 7 – 10 days on a route that primarily follows the rugged coast through a series of sparsely populated but picturesque fishing villages with names like Sally’s Cove, Cow Head and Brig Bay.
